The breakdown:

1. Tributes continue to pour in for former President Carter. 

• The 98-year-old entered hospice care over the weekend in his home in Plains, Ga. 
• As Plains celebrates Carter's life, one local health care clinic wouldn’t be here without him. 

2. The foreperson of the Fulton County Grand jury makes several media appearances. 

• Foreperson Emily Kohrs spoke to The Associated Press and several TV networks in an unusual move. 

3. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene makes headlines calling for a national divorce. 

• The outspoken congresswoman called for a separation of red and blue states. 
• Greene has been largely outspoken as her status at the U.S. Capitol has risen after she supported Kevin McCarthy's speakership. 

4. As the Legislature passes the halfway point, the culture wars heat up.

• Issues like the Buckhead City movement, religious liberties, and transgender rights have come up seemingly out of nowhere.
